Biographical / Historical

The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) was founded in 1893 and is the oldest Jewish women’s grassroots organization in the country. The mission of NCJW is to improve the lives of the most vulnerable women, children, and families in the United States and Israel. The organization responds to the most pressing challenges facing not only Jewish women, but all vulnerable women, children, and families. Some of their work includes protecting reproductive rights, child care, and passing civil rights legislation.

The organization has over 60 sections in 30 states, including the Greater Houston Section of which Beverly Sufian was president from 1985 to 1987.
